About this map

Iron Mine Mountain stands as the central topographic feature of this high-elevation landscape, where the headwaters of several major drainages converge. The map documents a complex hydraulic and industrial network, most notably the Iron Mine and the nearby Iron Mine Lake, alongside the specialized infrastructure of the Duchesne Tunnel. The presence of the West Portal and East Portal labels indicates the subsurface movement of water between basins, a critical component of Utah's water management history in the Uinta Mountains.

Settlement is sparse, represented by the cluster at Cobblerest near the Provo River. The terrain is divided among several administrative jurisdictions, including the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Uintas National Forest, and Ashley National Forest. Numerous small water bodies and landmarks like Smooth Rock Falls and Broadhead Lake dot the area, providing precise points of reference for those tracing historical trails or early mining claims in the Kamas District.
